In this article, we will introduce the perceived leading three contenders according to Netkeiba's original AI system.
Jean Gros
Jean Gros has competed in a total of nine races, recording four wins, two second-placed efforts, and a single third-placed finish. In races over 1400m or less, his career record reads; three wins from six starts and three podium finishes. It can be said that the Jean Gros' greatest characteristics lies in its exceptional speed and racing ability.
This belief is supported by his performance in the Chukyo Nisai Stakes in December '21. In that race, Jean Gros made a great start and was sent straight to the front. He secured a commanding victory by three and a half lengths over Win Marvel. His overwhelming speed compared to the horses that competed at G1 level makes him a formidable force in straight 1000m turf races, and the probability of him delivering a strong performance is very high.
Purpur Ray
In recent races, Purpur Ray has been largely disappointing. However, in the previous race, the Azuchi-jo Stakes, showcasing his high-speed capabilities when travelling in second throughout. Despite ultimately finishing in 9th place, he displayed a tenacious attitude staying close even after being overtaken by the eventual winner. The overall impression of the race was not as negative as the finishing position might suggest.
Purpur Ray is a horse with proven ability, having won the '22 G3 Falcon Stakes. In that race, he secured a graded stakes victory against a competitive field, including the 22' G3 Keihan Hai winner, Toshin Macau, and subsequent second-place finisher in the 22' G1 Sprinters' Stakes, Win Marvel. His high level of talent is well-known and acknowledged. This time, the change to a straight 1000m turf race, which will allow him to fully utilize his early speed.
Lord Bay Leaf
In last year's Ibis Summer Dash, Lord Bay Leaf delivered a commendable performance finishing in 3rd place despite being the 14th in the betting. At that time, he had to overcome starting from an inside position, a negative according to historical track bias' During the race, he faced several challenges such as being forced to take an outside path right after the start and weaving through a crowded field. Nevertheless, there were remarkable moments in his late surge towards the finish line.
In recent races, he has primarily been running on turf tracks and ranging from 1200m to 1400m, but he hasn't achieved any notable results. However, this time, the race is on a straight track, which is believed to favour his racing style. Moreover, if he draws a post position on the outside rather than the inside position he had in last year's Ibis Summer Dash, it wouldn't be surprising to witness a scenario where he crosses the line for a better result than 12 months ago.
